The Blues are having to manage some cap jujitsu with four players on Covid-19 protocol and Brayden Schenn injured for the time being. They can’t call up expensive players right now, so their roster is at the exact number of guys needed to ice a team. Part of how the Blues have managed to stay at cap level without having to make moves has been Oskar Sundqvist’s placement on long term injured reserve.
Sundvist has been on LTIR since a March 9th collision with teammake Kyle Clifford tore Sunny’s ACL. In today’s press conference, Doug Armstrong mentioned Sundqvist’s recovery process.
